Ingesting and inhaling are two totally different buzzes. I can roll bong rips all day and still be functional but if I eat a pot brownie then my ass is floored for the next 5 hours. I wouldn't suggest doing the tea thing. Just smoke it.
I took one of those THC pills they prescribe in Cali, the big horse pill looking fucker. That was worst than having a bad trip on blotter. I would take 3 bad trips on blotter over one dose of medical marijuana pills.
Once again, smoke the shit and be happy. When you ingest it you're in for a really shitty night (or day).
